Yourwellness Magazine noted that the pomegranate has symbolised health, well-being and longevity for centuries in China. Yourwellness Magazine explained that pomegranates can soften the arteries because they are rich in polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins. These antioxidants can help to reduce the DNA damage which often leads to critical health problems. Yourwellness Magazine commented that the antioxidant levels in pomegranates and pomegranate juice is higher than other juices and fruits, as well as being rich in vitamins.
